+288 (second amendment interpretation 215: Argument For The Whole Amendment- 7)

 Picking things from after the argument for the word "the" in "the security" in the preceding post, I do not know what made me wonder that far for something like this. The first comma preserves the abstraction of the two part clause "A well regulated Militia". Since an abstract Militia belongs to an abstract State, the test for the necessity of a well regulated Militia in the Amendment includes only what exist externally at the general environment and with the words "free" and "security" applying only externally. Clearly this test leads to the answer of no necessity for our time.

I may come back to elaborate on the core above but I did not want to postpone it for that. The same goes for the argument for the implementation versus concept for a Militia in the preceding post, which also was wrong. However, I still want to mention here that because of how the abstraction suffices by itself, it seems that the capitalization on both sides around the first comma is needed only for the same reason that was discussed before which is related to how the descriptions "well regulated" and "free" should exist as statuses not just descriptions for what is being described.
